Question

What is the surface area of the cylinder with height 2 mi and radius 6 mi? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer 1

301.440 mi²

Explanation:

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr²

Where,

Radius, r = 6 mi

Height, h = 2 mi

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr²

= (2 * 3.14 * 6 * 2) + (2 * 3.14 * 6²)

= 75.36 + (6.28 * 36)

= 75.36 + 226.08

= 301.44 mi²

To the nearest thousandth

Surface area of a cylinder = 301.440 mi²
